Di Tian had even considered making Tang Wulin sell his ass.
To Ling Zichen.
Even if he demanded the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as the price, she would agree without the slightest hesitation.
Of course.
He could only think about it.
Although Tang Wulin had lost his memory, his True God-level cultivation was still there. He just did not know how to use it.
As he thought this, he carried out large-scale transactions in Shrek's antique trading district.
Only after he had bought up almost all the antiques that could be purchased cheaply and resold at a high price did Di Tian finally stop.
His palm rubbed over an ancient coin.
An ancient coin-shaped spatial ancient soul tool, an ancient coin soul tool containing a Golden Behemoth King cub and a pouch of Life Evergreen Vine.
Fortunately, he had not missed this fine treasure.
After that, Di Tian set off on the road to find Tang Wulin.
He space-jumped toward the Le Family's coastal clan grounds in the south of the continent.
The Le Family.
Le Qingling had already brought Tang Wulin home.
She was helpless too.
Originally, she had only gone beachcombing during the academy's summer break, but never in her wildest dreams had she expected to save a handsome strange man.
And this man had actually latched onto her.
Wherever she went, he followed.
She could not shake him off. She simply could not shake him off.
"Sigh~" Le Qingling pouted her cute little mouth and looked at Tang Wulin, who was already neatly dressed before her. "Just my bad luck, I guess."
"You're unwilling to leave, and you've lost your memory."
"The Federation only takes in orphans, not adults."
"From now on, you can live at my house."
"Mm... You can't just go around without a name, either. You only know your surname is 'Tang,' so for your given name, use my surname."
"The Le from Le Qingling."
"Tang Le."
"Mm!" Tang Wulin, who had originally been dazed, suddenly became alert at that moment, his body snapping straight.
"Hey."
"Tang Le."
"I only gave you a name. No need to get that worked up, right?"
"No." Tang Le turned to look at the tightly shut bedroom door. "Someone's here."
"They aren't your family."
"It's an unfamiliar presence..."
Le Qingling's mother's voice rang out from outside the door:
"Qingling."
"Someone's here to see you."
"They claim to be representing an entertainment company."
The Le Family's living room.
Le Qingling had only just sat down on the sofa, but after hearing Di Tian's words, her butt had not even warmed the seat before she shot to her feet with a whoosh.
"Smack, smack."
With both hands braced on the surface of the coffee table, her quite well-developed body leaned forward as she stared at Di Tian with blazing eyes.
It was a gaze filled with an extreme thirst for wealth.
"What?!"
"What did you say?!"
"The debut plan for singer Tang Le!"
"In the future, at least ten billion Federation coins a year!"
"You put out ten thousand songs a month! And the startup capital!"
"I'll be the manager!"
"We'll start an entertainment company! Split it fifty-fifty!"
"And then... send Tang Le out to sell!"
Le Qingling stood leaning forward, her full chest heaving violently with excitement. It took her several minutes to finally recover.
She turned to look at Tang Le, the tiny corners of her mouth curling up like an AK spraying bullets, impossible to force back down.
"Hehe."
"Tang Le."
"It's time for you to pay the rent."
"Don't worry."
"Once we really make big money, I'll definitely give you some of the shares in my hands."
As she spoke, she pulled Tang Le up and walked over to Di Tian.
She said respectfully:
"Boss!"
"Your number one employee, 'Le Qingling,' and number two employee, 'Tang Le'!"
"Reporting for duty!"
After getting Tang Le a Federation ID in advance and signing the contract, Di Tian left then and there, becoming a hands-off shopkeeper.
He had wasted so much time entirely for the sake of Tang Wulin going out to sell and earning him a few divine weapons.
He still had not finished his itinerary of digging up the very ground of Douluo Continent.
The Hundred-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus was in hand.
The Dragon God Egg was in hand.
The super divine weapon, Heavenly Saint Splitting Abyss Halberd, was in hand.
The collective will of all dragons, "Tears of the Dragon God," was in hand.
The ancient gold-coin soul device containing the Golden Behemoth King cub and the pouch of Life Evergreen Vine was in hand.
Tang Wulin had even agreed to go out and sell, so could the massive amount of Federation coins that had been booked in advance and could buy several divine weapons still be far away?
Just thinking about it made Di Tian feel comfortable all over.
At last, he saw a tiny glimmer of hope in his bleak future.
As he sighed with emotion, this trip back home reached its final stage.
He released a bounty for "Hundred-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus-type heavenly treasures," to help Bi Ji take human form and cultivate anew.
And also, there was the virtual soul beast in the Spirit Ascension Platform: "the female Silver-Patterned Blue Demon Bird."
Before the Spirit Pagoda discovered that the Silver-Patterned Blue Demon Bird could devour the divine realm fragments inside the Spirit Ascension Platform and evolve into a soul spirit, he would ferry the Silver-Patterned Blue Demon Bird to the Elf Planet's Spirit Ascension Platform.
That would make it convenient for the Yin-Yang Chaos Bird to regulate the balance of yin and yang and give birth to a male Gold-Patterned Blue Demon Bird.
After Bi Ji took human form and cultivated anew, whether she could evolve into a true phoenix, and whether she could possess the potential to become a God King, would all depend on the male and female Blue Demon Bird soul spirits.
At the same time.
The Eternal Sky Tree.
Inside the Sea God Pavilion stood the Pavilion Master, "Ling Zichen," and the First Vice Pavilion Master, "Yi Zichen."
Master and disciple stood back to back.
The two of them had just finished arguing.
However, Yi Zichen was not sad. Instead, he was very happy.
When he had just returned to the Sea God Pavilion after parting with Di Tian, Ling Zichen had indeed been waiting for him.
He immediately became excited.
He prepared to get a little closer to Ling Zichen, then a little closer still...
And then?
Then Yi Zichen was scolded by his teacher, Ling Zichen, of course.
No sense of propriety, idiot, fool, and the like.
"Sigh~"
Ling Zichen sighed silently.
How could she not understand Yi Zichen's feelings? But she, but she...
Tang Wulin's figure lingered in her mind and would not go away.
She shook her head hard, flinging away every troubling thought.
She changed the subject.
"Zichen."
"Tell me about Di Tian."
"Him?" Yi Zichen did not keep dwelling on the matter between himself and his teacher.
There was no need to rush.
He had already been pursuing her for ten thousand years.
Why couldn't he keep pursuing her for another ten thousand?
"He didn't do anything special."
"He gathered the Hundred-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus needed for ferocious beasts to take human form and cultivate again. During that time, he took away a soul beast egg, then went to Shrek City and bought a few trinkets."
"Mm." Ling Zichen's voice held a trace of disappointment.
"I thought Di Tian would have some grand move after going to so much trouble to return to the Douluo Home Planet."
"For example, luckily obtaining some powerful divine weapon and wanting to forcibly undergo the godhood tribulation on the Home Planet; or perhaps searching the major factions on the Home Planet for some god-level treasure to help him break through; or maybe..."
"Who would've thought? Who would've thought that the Soul Beast King who once stirred up storms across the continent would also lower his banners and still his drums?"
"He only took one Hundred-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus and some cultivation resources. It really makes him seem rather petty."
For a human, a life of ten thousand years was still far too long.
Ling Zichen's emotional threshold had grown higher and higher.
At certain times, she especially liked to seek out a little excitement.
Of course, only at certain times.
Just then...
"Break—"
Yi Zichen's Sub-Mechanical Core tore through the air and came over. This meant...
"Teacher."
"Di Tian has already left the Douluo Home Planet."
"Looks like Di Tian really did just return to his homeland to reminisce about the past."
Ling Zichen quickly adjusted her raised threshold back down.
"It's good if Di Tian can honestly take human form and cultivate again."
"The Soul Beast King is already a remnant of the old era. The one about to step out will be Shrek's glory—Di Tian!"
